cats + habs: Weber heads to FLA

[PsychoticPondGoons]

To cats
Shea Weber, $7.0m (2015-2019)
Byron Froese, $0.2m (2017-2019)

To habs
Sami Vatanen, $2.5m (2017-2020)
C - Jaret Anderson-Dolan (2017: 2/41 - 0 Games)

cats make this trade to get Shea when his value is low. his pending extension will also be relatively cheap. MTL to confirm.

FLA & MTL done

This is one of those lose now to win later deals for Florida. Weber's extension is going to be $0.5m if he doesn't play for the first few months of the season. Montreal gets a great Dman who should be playing all season.

I think MTL wins by unloading that big contract that isn't going to produce until Dec-Jan.

Weber is going to be out with an injury and may take a little bit to get back up to speed, but when he plays, he's great. Anderson-Dolan shows some promise and helps even out this deal.

Habs agree to this deal. We are tired of waiting for Weber who'll be out another few months. He's a Top 5 Dman when he's not on the IR but I'd rather have someone contributing at the get go. Thanks for the the Pigsrule.
